Not sure if it’s still in time but this might help all of you who are having the same problem, as I had: Create a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add this content to the file: style “eclipse_fix” { base[ACTIVE] = shade(0.7, “#4283d3”) } class “GtkTreeView” style “eclipse_fix” Then just set Unity a new theme (in Configuration … Read more
You can use Script Assistant’s Auto-Completion with the Option + Esc key.

The Highlight all occurrences of selected word extension in Visual Studio Gallery does just that.
Early software was often modal, but usability took a turn at some point, away from this style. VI-based editors are total enigmas — they’re the only real surviving members of that order of software. Modes are a no-no in usability and interaction design because we humans are fickle mammals who cannot be trusted to remember … Read more
I guess you are asking for MacOs because by default shortcut for code formatting is different for different Os. Now there might be an issue with the keyboard layout.
